When APIs meet SOA
“APIs are the
missing link for
SOA success”

Managing APIs

•
An API is a business capability delivered over the
Internet to internal or external consumers
• Network accessible function
• Available using standard web protocols
• With well-defined interfaces
• Designed for access by third-parties •
A Managed API is:
• Actively advertised and subscribe-able
• Available with SLAs
• Secured, authenticated, authorized and protected
• Monitored and monetized with analytics

•
lifecycle management, developer portal, access control and
analytics

Understand business and technical requirements

•
•
•
•

API Manager Components

API Gateway Processing Flow
13
Multi-Tenancy
•
•
•
Creation of multiple domains (tenants)
Each domain can have their own store or publish APIs to a central store
- This is transparent to the consumers.
Typical Use Cases:
•
•
•
14
Segmenting the publishers by business unit or partner and restricting editing rights by domain
Create an API marketplace : one-stop store for domain APIs.
API Cloud heavily leverages this functionality
API Store: Customization
15
Scalable Deployment Architecture
16
API Facade Pattern: Recommended Deployment
•
•
•
•
•
•
17
API Gateway acts as simple reverse proxy, enforcing policies and
collecting monitoring information
Specific security checks/protection at edge of the network
Invalid requests are stopped at the edge of the network
Clear separation of concern between layers
The mediation and API management layers scale independently
You can combine the Façade and Mediation layers (if required) and
run as a single architecture layer.
